Objective: To correlate between fingertip patterns between type II diabetic cases and controls. Methodology: One hundred type II diabeties mellitus patients (50 male and 50 female) were selected for study and compared with equal number of controls. Fingerprints were obtained by printing method. Parameters studied were arches, whorls, loops. Distribution of fingertip patterns showed significant difference between diabetics and controls. Result and Conclusion: In diabetic patient's frequency of whorls was significantly increased in both hands of males and females. While frequency of loops was significantly decreased in both hands of male and female diabetics as compared to controls. Arches were significantly reduced in right and left hands of male and left hand of female diabetics.

“…However, both studies revealed significantly (p<0.05) higher atd angle in diabetic patients than that of controls [34,38]. Srivastava and Rajasekar also reported significantly (p<0.05) higher atd angle in diabetic patients [35].

“…Countrywide ranking on people with diabetes revealed that India, the diabetes capital of the world, occupies the highest position with 31.7 million diabetic people in the year 2000 and it will be about 79.4 million in the year 2030 [24,26].According to the National Urban Survey Report, Kolkata (Eastern India) have 11.7 percent national burden of the disease diabetes mellitus in India, among all the metropolitan cities [27].It was also observed that individuals with family history of diabetes and who belongs to certain ethnic group had a higher risk of developing diabetes, and thus indicated significant genetic influences [28,29]. Apart from the detection of chromosomal and congenital aberrations several dermatoglyphic studies also proved the relation of unusual dermatoglyphic traits with diabetes mellitus [30][31][32][33][34][35]. However, very fewworks have been reported on T2DM patients, especially in context of Eastern India [36][37][38][39][40].In addition to those, present study was incorporated a-b ridge count (ABRC), c-d ridge count (CDRC), presence of multiple number of axial triradii (t, t' & t") on the same palm, td ridge count (TDRC), atd angle, btd angle and ctd angle to understand the relation between dermatoglyphics and T2DM.…”

BackgroundDermatoglyphics is frequently used in understanding the proximity with non-communicable diseases including diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common non-communicable diseases all over the world. The present study is an attempt to understand the association of palmer dermatoglyphic traits [i.e. a-b ridge count (ABRC), c-d ridge count (CDRC), presence of multiple number of axial triradii (t, t' & t") in a single palm, td ridge count (TDRC), atd angle, btd angle and ctd angle] with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Material and methodsSubjects included 30 clinically diagnosed adult female T2DM patients and 60 healthy controls from the Bengalee Hindu Caste population of West Bengal, India. Bilateral palm prints were collected following standard ink and roller method. Results Present study revealed that T2DM patients have significantly (p<0.05) lower ABRC, CDRC and TDRC. On the other hand, significantly (p<0.05) higher presence of multiple number of axial triradii t, t' & t" was found in the palm of T2DM patients compared to the controls. T2DM patients also demonstrated significantly (p<0.05) higher values of atd and btd angle. However, T2DM patients demonstrated significantly (p<0.05) lower value of ctd angle than that of controls, only when both hand were considered. ConclusionThe results the present study indicated that dermatoglyphic traits may be used for early identification of at risk individuals for surveillance with a view to prevent the disease onset.Journal of Biomedical Sciences, Vol. 3, No. 2, 2016

“…For most of the parameters evaluated by such studies, distinctions among the parameters of significance vary from one report to another; more strikingly, some findings contradict those reported by their counterparts, even those done from the same subcontinent. With this in mind, the most commonly shared findings among studies that at this stage can be cited to have positive predictive values – being indicative of a predisposition to diabetes – include: a decrease in ulnar loops on the digits entailing a simultaneous increase in the whorls; increased mean palmar and digital ridge counts; increased palmar ‘atd’ angles, and distally deviated axial triradii for type 2 diabetes; and an overall increase in whorls with simultaneously decreased loops, more pronounced on the left thumbs of the diabetic group for type 1 diabetes.…”
